Public Officials Fear This: How YOU Can Use Surveillance Data Against Them

Video Description

In this video, I share 3 LEGAL and EFFECTIVE ways you can push back against government surveillance — whether you want to remain anonymous or whether you’re ready to take bold action to defend your privacy. Over the past 5 months, this channel has grown faster than I ever expected, and after meeting hundreds of you across the country on the Brushfires of Freedom Tour, one message is crystal clear: people from every political background are sick and tired of living in a surveillance state. Today you’ll learn: 📍 How to map AI surveillance cameras (including Flock Safety ALPRs) using the open-source DeFlock.me app 📍 How to use your state’s Open Records Act / FOIA laws to obtain contracts, policies, and usage manuals for automated license plate readers 📍 How to request ALPR tracking data on PUBLIC OFFICIALS — legally — to hold government accountable We’ll also cover the recent Washington State court ruling that officially declared Flock camera data to be public records, and why that ruling has law enforcement across the country suddenly scrambling. If you submit an open records request for ALPR contracts or policy manuals, please email me the results (or any agency refusals) at: 📧 [email protected] Download the Open Records Request Template here: 🔗 https://businessreform.org/open-records-template If you want to support my work on this channel, I invite you to buy me a coffee at https://coff.ee/businessreform If you found this helpful, join me for my FIRST livestream: 📅 Monday, December 1, 7 PM Eastern — unscripted Q&A and current events.
